LICENSING OF SALOONS.
Hyde. in accordance with notice given yester-
day, moved a reconsideration of the vote where
by the House refused to give A. b. n first
reading Carried
This bill provides that saloons shall pay no
more license tax than the grocer or other mer
chant. Brooks the author of the bill, made
speech in its favor, and urged every Democrat
in the House to vote for it. He said it was one
many of the Democratic members of the Legis-
lature owe their positions to the saloon iniiu-
ence, who rallied to the support of the
Democracy at the last election.
Wright of Stanislaus and Granger of Butte,
both Democrats, denied the soft Impeachment.
They claim they were not elected upon such
issues, even if the member from Ventura was.
Both expressed themselves as opposed to the
bill
Granger said he thought Mr.. Brooks was a
lawyer, and was surprised to see him introduce
a bill so clearly unconstitutional, and then so
persistently insist upon its being read
Briefly said he was little surprised at the
character of legislation the gentleman from
Ventura was engaged in securing. He wishes
to put the saloon-keepers license on plane
with the dealer in the necessaries OF life this
morning he introduces a bill in the interest of
the gambling fraternity, and suppo e he will
next insist that when a faro bank makes losing
the State be called upon to pay the loss.
After some farther discussion, Brooks moved
to make ii a special order for Monday, immedi-
ately after the reafing of the journal A roll
call was demanded. Briefly moved Il call of the
House, which was ordered.
Six members who were absent without per-
mission were ordered to be brought in by the
Sergeant-at- Arms. A halfhour later that officer
brought before the bar of the House Messrs.
Mann. Curry Seary and Colbert. The Speaker
said 10 them that during their absence there
had been call of the House and asked what
excuse, if any, they had to offer for their alb
sepce. Mr.. Mann said he had gone to the Post
Office to mail letter: Colbert said he was sick
| in bed Curry was in the Library, enjoying
tete-a-tete" with friend while Seary 4yas
in the well " getting something to eat.
Brusie of Amador arose and said: Mr.. Speaker
it pains me, sir, TO have at this time to call the
| attention of the members of this House TO the
gravity of the offense of which the prisoners at
the bar are guilty Sir, we are here to legislate
| in the interest of the people of this State the
| time so consumed is theirs, not ours and it
| costs the dear people just $40 an hour. Now,
sir il is u we'll known fact that the prisoners at
the bar. by their neglect Of duty to their constit
| uency, by absenting themselves from the halls
| OF legislation, have caused one hours loss of
| time-a loss to the State of $40 / therefore
| move you, sir, that they each be fined in the
| sum of ii0and be remanded to the custody of the
Sergeant-at-Arms until such fine is paid.
The motion received several seconds
| Coombs moved that i'll addition to the fine of
$40 they be imprisoned in the well for one hour.
| Variel arose to point of order. He said they
| should not be fined and confined at the same
| time. The Chair held that the point of order
was not well taken.
| After several propositions were considered,
| the prisoners were sentenced to pay a fine of 81
] each, and be confined for one hour in the tower
| of the State Capitol. The fines were promptly
paid, and the sentence served in the uppermost
dome of the Capitol building
